:00:14. > :00:17.Good afternoon and welcome to the Results Show,
:00:18. > :00:19.on the day last season's top two Premiership teams go toe
:00:20. > :00:25.This dynamic duo go head to head in the studio.
:00:26. > :00:27.Say hello to our guests - Steven Thompson and Pat Nevin.
:00:28. > :00:32.Sit tight while our reporters headline what's happening in today's
:00:33. > :00:46.Jonathan Sutherland watching champions Celtic at home to
:00:47. > :00:51.Aberdeen. The Match of the Day, Celtic beating Aberdeen in every
:00:52. > :00:56.league fixture at Celtic Park since October 2004 and that does not look
:00:57. > :01:01.like changing after goals from Leigh Griffiths and James Forest. Rooney
:01:02. > :01:07.has given Aberdeen hope that the score is Celtic two, Aberdeen one.
:01:08. > :01:12.Staying in Glasgow and Firhill and Partick Thistle and Hearts. A good
:01:13. > :01:16.game to watch. All square at the moment, 1-1, Hearts scoring the
:01:17. > :01:21.first after Callum Paterson got one through Liam Lindsey at the break.
:01:22. > :01:28.What is it like in the Highlands, Inverness against St Johnstone?
:01:29. > :01:31.Scott. It has been very fair, especially for Caley Thistle
:01:32. > :01:37.supporters. Ross Draper polls 's fourth of the season in 59 minutes
:01:38. > :01:42.gives them hope their good work will be rewarded with a first league
:01:43. > :01:45.victory of the campaign. St Johnstone rarely threatening and
:01:46. > :01:51.Chris Kane in the first half and Davidson in the second have missed
:01:52. > :01:58.their best chances. Hamilton, at home to cross County.
:01:59. > :02:02.Kenneth Crawford. It is 0-0. Andrew Davies the crossbar at two minutes
:02:03. > :02:05.and we thought it would be a goal filled afternoon in South
:02:06. > :02:11.Lanarkshire. Almost a goal by Michael Guardian the winger but
:02:12. > :02:18.apart from that, it has not got going Dutch Michael Jardine.
:02:19. > :02:23.Dreadfully little to cheer. A big cheer for John Barnes. Motherwell
:02:24. > :02:28.against Dundee, what is happening? 30 years since there was last
:02:29. > :02:33.goalless draw between these sides. That could be about to change. So
:02:34. > :02:40.far, neither side has found the back of the net. A dominant Motherwell in
:02:41. > :02:44.the first half, with a couple of chances, but they failed to
:02:45. > :02:48.capitalise. In the second period, Dundee have come out stronger with
:02:49. > :02:53.Michael Duffy going close on a couple of occasions. We do have a
:02:54. > :02:59.goal, Hamilton against Ross County. It is a goal for the hosts, Hamilton
:03:00. > :03:07.Accies, and the scorer is Doogie Emery. A mix in the box. He was
:03:08. > :03:12.there from a tight angle to poke it past Scott Fox, so 1-0. A dip into
:03:13. > :03:17.the Championship now. Paul Mitchell is watching Hibs against Morton.
:03:18. > :03:25.Good afternoon, it is all about using your head at Easter Road, four
:03:26. > :03:29.goals. Brian Graham, from a header. And Andrew Shinnie. Hibs in command,
:03:30. > :03:35.three of the four players scoring for the first time, 4-0.
:03:36. > :03:38.Time for Brian McLauchlan to use his head and tail is what is happening
:03:39. > :03:41.against Dundee United and Raith Rovers.
:03:42. > :03:47.The home side two goals up through Willo Flood and a Cameroon Smith
:03:48. > :03:54.penalty. But there was a volley for the opposite side of the break. John
:03:55. > :03:57.Reith -- Raith Rovers have drawn level.
:03:58. > :04:04.The only much we are not seeing is Celtic and Aberdeen. And in goal,
:04:05. > :04:13.Dumfries instead of Gordon, surprised? -- Dorus de Vries. Not
:04:14. > :04:17.surprise, there have been mistakes by Gordon for a long time. He is a
:04:18. > :04:22.fantastic goalkeeper and it is harsh but that is a lot of the goalkeeper.
:04:23. > :04:26.If you make errors, somebody gets a chance until he makes a mistake.
:04:27. > :04:32.Tough to take because he is fantastic and we all like him.
:04:33. > :04:38.Looking at potential scorers, Rooney, yes, Leigh Griffiths, and
:04:39. > :04:42.James Forest. Yes, this season. He scored last season and has been
:04:43. > :04:45.sensational. They beat St Johnstone last week and he looks like a
:04:46. > :04:54.rejuvenated player under Brendan Rodgers. We have divided the matches
:04:55. > :04:59.up. Doogie just scored a good goal for Hamilton. Young Douglas. They
:05:00. > :05:06.have been the better side in the second half. Inverness fully
:05:07. > :05:12.deserved their lead. A good goal from Draper after a great cross from
:05:13. > :05:18.Tanzi. You are listing the matches you are watching. I have so much
:05:19. > :05:22.happening each match. Partick Thistle against Hearts. In the first
:05:23. > :05:26.half, Partick Thistle were great. I will not get carried away but they
:05:27. > :05:31.were playing like Barcelona! I think you did just get carried away! The
:05:32. > :05:35.amount of chances created. Eight or nine in the first half. Nothing
:05:36. > :05:40.against Hearts, I think Partick have played well and they go a goal down.
:05:41. > :05:44.They swap around in the second half, Hearts by far the better team but
:05:45. > :05:50.Partick score the equaliser through a header. Lindsey got that. The
:05:51. > :05:55.other was Motherwell versus Dundee and Motherwell in the first half
:05:56. > :05:58.flying down the wings. Chance after chance, could not score. Dundee have
:05:59. > :06:06.been the better side in the second half and they have brought on Rory
:06:07. > :06:11.Loy and Faissal El Bakhtaoui and they look better, 0-0. Let's join
:06:12. > :06:16.our reporters. Back to Celtic Park and we can hear from Jonathan,
:06:17. > :06:21.Celtic Aberdeen. Gordon dropped by Celtic and also, Aberdeen started
:06:22. > :06:25.with the back three which looks like it might be a good move from Derek
:06:26. > :06:31.McInnes as Wes Burns had an early chance for Aberdeen but he blazed
:06:32. > :06:35.his shot of the target. Celtic on the attack, just firing wide, Nir
:06:36. > :06:41.Bitton. It was all Celtic in the first half. A shot of the board from
:06:42. > :06:46.20 yards by Tom Rogic and Leigh Griffiths made a stunning strike.
:06:47. > :06:51.Not making Kenny McLean before unleashing a blockbuster shot
:06:52. > :06:56.hitting the frame of the goal. Aberdeen has not done much and they
:06:57. > :07:01.hit back, a cross from Niall McGinn, not dealt with by Toure and Rooney
:07:02. > :07:09.pounced. The poacher in chief at Pittodrie. Dorus de Vries was not
:07:10. > :07:15.sure. He was bailed out by Toure. And before half-time, Forest made it
:07:16. > :07:19.another goal. The player rejuvenated under Brendan Rodgers and giving
:07:20. > :07:24.Celtic the lead at half-time. Scott Sinclair almost made it 3-1 in the
:07:25. > :07:29.second half, a fantastic block from Taylor on the line. Since then, Nir
:07:30. > :07:32.Bitton had a shot which went wide. Aberdeen still with a chance and if
:07:33. > :07:39.they take anything today, that is a huge statement for Derek McInnes.
:07:40. > :07:44.Andrew Shinnie firing over from 20 yards.
:07:45. > :07:49.And we had the North now to Inverness and we hear from Scott
:07:50. > :07:53.Davies, you have a goal! Yes, and equaliser for St Johnstone and
:07:54. > :07:57.Richard Foster who was employed across the Keswick Bridge with Ross
:07:58. > :08:02.County joined before the Celtic game last week and has opened his account
:08:03. > :08:06.against who else? His former Highland rivals Caley Thistle. A
:08:07. > :08:11.drive from the edge of the penalty area. Excellent shot from Foster.
:08:12. > :08:16.Typical St Johnstone performance, second best in terms of chances
:08:17. > :08:22.created but Caley Thistle have not taken enough chances. Unable to put
:08:23. > :08:27.the game beyond doubt. And holding on with a goal advantage, we know
:08:28. > :08:31.what can happen and that happened as St Johnstone have the level. Caley
:08:32. > :08:36.Thistle have played with a lot of more determination and aggression in
:08:37. > :08:43.the image of their manager Foran after what happened at Tynecastle
:08:44. > :08:47.last week. Just bringing on their new French striker Lonsana
:08:48. > :08:53.Doumbouya, they have international clearance for the player who used
:08:54. > :08:56.ply his trade in Belgium. He is on for the last couple of minutes. We
:08:57. > :09:01.will see if he can tip the balance in their favour. St Johnstone
:09:02. > :09:07.dog-eared and resistant in defence and that foster goal has them level.
:09:08. > :09:14.High time we heard from Richard Wilson at Firhill, Partick Thistle
:09:15. > :09:18.and Hearts. I was not going to go as far as to say it was like watching
:09:19. > :09:22.Barcelona but there has been plenty of good football. Nice passing moves
:09:23. > :09:29.and energy and commitment and chances, and last-minute defending.
:09:30. > :09:32.A breakthrough in the first half, a corner from the left and Callum
:09:33. > :09:36.Paterson, subject to a bid from Wigan in the week, he scored from a
:09:37. > :09:40.header. He nearly did the same later in the first half, corner from the
:09:41. > :09:44.same side, and other header which was blocked. Partick Thistle have
:09:45. > :09:51.created more chances. Chris Ayres has had a good game in midfield. A
:09:52. > :09:56.shot went wide. A great run from mid field. But that shot was saved. A
:09:57. > :10:01.run from Erskine created the corner that Thistle equalised from.
:10:02. > :10:05.Lindsey's header going in off the crossbar. Since then, Hearts have
:10:06. > :10:12.stepped up a gear. The substitute Johnson came off the bench and
:10:13. > :10:16.sought a shot saved. Walkers saw his shot go wide. It is level, swinging
:10:17. > :10:21.from end to end but Hearts having the edge. Let's hear from Kenny,
:10:22. > :10:30.Hamilton against Ross County. The home side one goal up? Yes, after 81
:10:31. > :10:34.minutes. Hamilton, a first win in six against County if they hold on
:10:35. > :10:37.for the next ten minutes. It did not look good for the home side when
:10:38. > :10:43.Andrew Davies hit the crossbar with a header from a corner of the two
:10:44. > :10:48.minutes. County have faded and Hamilton have had more
:10:49. > :10:52.counterattacks and possession. The lead came through Doogie Amre, a
:10:53. > :10:58.tight finish from three yards out after a break in the box. Poked it
:10:59. > :11:02.beyond Fox for his fourth goal of the season and his first in the
:11:03. > :11:06.Premiership. Since then, Michael Jardine has had a good header.
:11:07. > :11:12.County looked listless in attack considering they have that firepower
:11:13. > :11:16.with the likes of police and current. Still Hamilton with the
:11:17. > :11:23.advantage. Last week, John Barnes was the hardest working reporter
:11:24. > :11:25.watching Hearts threshing Co. No goals, what is happening? Six
:11:26. > :11:30.minutes left and still in Motherwell. They have turned to
:11:31. > :11:35.their player assistant manager James McFadden to try and find a winner
:11:36. > :11:39.with ten minutes left. They have dominated the majority of this
:11:40. > :11:43.match, Motherwell, but failed to find a breakthrough. Scott Bain with
:11:44. > :11:48.a couple of good saves from Scott McDonald and Ainsworth with a shot
:11:49. > :11:52.from the edge of the box. Michael Duffy, online from Celtic, had a
:11:53. > :11:59.couple of efforts in the early part of the second half which troubled
:12:00. > :12:04.Craig Samson but still no goals. Looking for a winner, will we get
:12:05. > :12:08.it? I am not sure. Stephen, Inverness against St Johnstone,
:12:09. > :12:14.unlikely scorer? Excellent goal from Richie Foster. Good play from the
:12:15. > :12:20.claim on the edge of the box. Plays it back to him on an angle 90 yards
:12:21. > :12:25.out and he catches it and goes to the side net. Not sure if it is
:12:26. > :12:30.deserve it. Scott said second best in terms of chances. Inverness will
:12:31. > :12:33.be kicking themselves, a great opportunity to get the first of the
:12:34. > :12:38.season and move from the bottom of the league and they deserve to win
:12:39. > :12:46.this match. But a good point for the Johnstone. You are watching the
:12:47. > :12:52.Barcelona match! Who is the Firhill Lionel Messi? It seems to be the
:12:53. > :12:57.entire team. Everybody. The midfield is very strong. Everybody was
:12:58. > :13:01.hammering forward. To be absolutely fair to Hearts, the second half,
:13:02. > :13:05.they have completely dominated. They have made the changes and that is
:13:06. > :13:11.the big thing. Since half-time, it has been dead on and it has changed.
:13:12. > :13:17.As Robbie Neilson has got them in, he said, we cannot give that many
:13:18. > :13:23.chances away again. Johnson has missed a couple. He came on as a
:13:24. > :13:26.substitute. Two chances. He does not be hitting there she does not seem
:13:27. > :13:33.to be hitting them clean. One in front of the post was easier than it
:13:34. > :13:39.is. It looked easier. Yes, he put it over the bar. He does not catch
:13:40. > :13:43.anything green. On form, you do not think about it. Plenty of goals in
:13:44. > :13:50.the Championship match between Hibs and Morton. All from headers. A
:13:51. > :13:55.perfect start for Hibs. Plenty of headers and debut goals. Andrew
:13:56. > :14:01.Shinnie with his first for the club after 28 minutes. David Gray with a
:14:02. > :14:05.clean cross. Everybody gave up on it except Andrew Shinnie. 41 minutes
:14:06. > :14:14.have gone, a first goal for Hibs from Graham Holt. The player he
:14:15. > :14:19.collided with was injured and could not continue. Jason Cummings scored
:14:20. > :14:24.for the third straight game. Andrew Shinnie drove it into the box. And
:14:25. > :14:29.the best saved for the fourth. Brian Graham with his first Hibs goal.
:14:30. > :14:39.Down to Cummings, a 30 yard cross into the box. A diving header.
:14:40. > :14:45.Center get low into the corner. Hibs, in goal, they have got Ofir
:14:46. > :14:50.Marciano. He has had very little to do. On cruise control. From the
:14:51. > :14:54.would-be goalkeeper Paul Mitchell to a goalkeeper facing a penalty at
:14:55. > :15:00.Celtic Park, Jonathan Sutherland? The penalty has gone the way of
:15:01. > :15:04.Celtic. Mark Reynolds is making his way to the sidelines after being
:15:05. > :15:07.sent off. A second yellow card after he was judged to take down Scott
:15:08. > :15:12.Sinclair by the referee Bobby Madden. Now a chance for Celtic to
:15:13. > :15:18.make it 3-1 from the penalty spot and it looks like it will be Dembele
:15:19. > :15:22.who has come on. No, it is Scott Sinclair himself taking the penalty.
:15:23. > :15:27.To make it 3-1 for Celtic to seal the trio -- the three points for
:15:28. > :15:32.Brendan Rodgers and his side. He steps up and it is 3-1 to Celtic.
:15:33. > :15:36.Aberdeen looking like they might have a chance of getting an
:15:37. > :15:42.equaliser but that has gone now. Celtic three, Aberdeen one. Four
:15:43. > :15:50.goals and four goals at Tannadice between Dundee United and Raith
:15:51. > :15:57.Rovers. Yes, great game here. Dundee two and Raith Rovers two in front of
:15:58. > :16:06.a crowd of 7,500. Magnificent ends the end. United 2-0 up after Will
:16:07. > :16:10.oche board got a shot from 25 yards. -- Willo Flood. He was brought down
:16:11. > :16:16.inside the box and Smith made no mistake. They were cruising with a
:16:17. > :16:22.magnificent volley from Jordanne Thomson pulling Raith Rovers back.
:16:23. > :16:27.And a remarkable goal from Kevin McHattie, I have never seen a shot
:16:28. > :16:31.hit so hard. Cammy Bell the United goalkeeper was diving as the ball
:16:32. > :16:36.came back out of the net. Remarkable effort from Kevin McHattie and if
:16:37. > :16:39.there is to be a winner, I fancy it is Raith Rovers. They have piled on
:16:40. > :16:45.the pressure. They had a life after the goal after half-time. Gary
:16:46. > :16:51.Locke's side had a 100% record after three wins out of three. Against Ray
:16:52. > :16:56.McKinnon who left Raith Rovers. Great match here.
:16:57. > :17:02.2-2. There has been a goal at Firhill. I think it is Hearts.
:17:03. > :17:08.Richard Wilson. It is for Hearts. It is Tony Watt that has scored what is
:17:09. > :17:13.probably the winning goal. The ball broke on the right-hand side of the
:17:14. > :17:16.penalty area and he got a shot from a tight angle beyond Tomas Cerni.
:17:17. > :17:21.The pressure has been building, 2-1 to the visitors.
:17:22. > :17:24.Now, Kilmarnock and Rangers kicked off match week four of the SPFL
:17:25. > :17:27.season last night at Rugby Park with a 1-1 draw.
:17:28. > :17:35.We can have a look at some of the key moments now.
:17:36. > :17:49.Cracking goal. This from Kris Boyd. A great finish, excellent finish,
:17:50. > :17:53.he's been doing it his whole career, I think that's his 250th goal. He
:17:54. > :18:01.gets good pace on the ball on his weaker foot. Rangers were poor in
:18:02. > :18:09.the match. Look at this. That's just top, top draw. It's a metre and a
:18:10. > :18:14.half there. If someone said to me why is he not doing that every
:18:15. > :18:25.single time. I think he will do from now on. What time is it just now? !
:18:26. > :18:30.If it's not after 9 o'clock, that shouldn't be on the telly because
:18:31. > :18:38.that's post-watershed stuff! I thought you lost your mar les there.
:18:39. > :18:45.Horrific, that. -- lost your marbles there. If that is the other way
:18:46. > :18:53.around and that is Joey Barton doing it to someone else, there'd be
:18:54. > :19:02.uproar. Inverness and St Johnston now? Two
:19:03. > :19:05.wonderful saves. A corner a minute into stoppage time played in. A
:19:06. > :19:14.couple of inches cleared off the line. Finger tips reached it. Forced
:19:15. > :19:20.over the line from a yard out. If they concede, it will be a first
:19:21. > :19:28.deserved league win of the season. Currently though 2-1 to Caledonia
:19:29. > :19:34.thistle. Back to Celtic Park now. Another defeat for Aberdeen in
:19:35. > :19:42.Glasgow's East End for the Aberdeen side who're down to ten men after
:19:43. > :19:46.Mark Reynolds was sent off. A fantastic three kick to make it 4-1,
:19:47. > :19:53.Celtic in cruise control and with all three points.
:19:54. > :19:59.What would someone say if he scored another one, top of the cherry. A
:20:00. > :20:05.handsome one for Celtic? Yes. I think the game's been tighter than
:20:06. > :20:09.the score suggests. If anything, the one thing I would say about Celtic
:20:10. > :20:14.is, they are conceding in every game, lost six in the last three,
:20:15. > :20:20.now seven, but they are scoring as well.
:20:21. > :20:23.It may catch up with them one day. Not scoring goals is a massive
:20:24. > :20:30.worry, though. That's half the effect. If you are leaking goals,
:20:31. > :20:36.it's a wee bit easier. It's the acid test. Closer, Hearts v Partick
:20:37. > :20:46.Thistle though and it looks like a late winner. I don't know if Hearts
:20:47. > :20:53.deserve it, it was a tight game. Full-time now there. The match
:20:54. > :20:58.winner Tony watt. Richard Watson is there. It was Tony watt's late goal
:20:59. > :21:05.that secured all three points for Hearts. It was an evenly matched and
:21:06. > :21:12.entertaining game. Both the opening goals came from set pieces. It was
:21:13. > :21:19.Hearts who took the lead in the first half.
:21:20. > :21:24.Erskine put the ball into the penalty area second half. Hearts
:21:25. > :21:33.were the stronger bench, brought on a couple of players which stepped up
:21:34. > :21:40.the pressure. The ball got to Watt in the penalty area and from a tight
:21:41. > :21:46.angle he finished that way, probably Hearts' best player. Tony Watt the
:21:47. > :21:58.scorer, 2-1 to Hearts. Second win on the spin for Hearts.
:21:59. > :22:04.Inverness CT, Scott Davey was at their game against St Johnston. They
:22:05. > :22:07.stay where they are only on goal difference. A wonderful performance
:22:08. > :22:12.start-to-finish. The only moment they can look back on with any sort
:22:13. > :22:16.of regret is when Richard Foster marked his first goal for the Perth
:22:17. > :22:19.club with a tremendous drive from the penalty area which looked like
:22:20. > :22:36.stealing a point. -- a goal. The manager took over the job and
:22:37. > :22:46.promised attacking football which happened today. The goal-keeper is
:22:47. > :22:53.in inspired form. He kept lots of balls out of the net. A free kick on
:22:54. > :22:57.the left hand side from Draper, then Townsend, then Draper, who glanced
:22:58. > :23:07.in the header, well deserved at that stage. Foster looked to be tying
:23:08. > :23:12.things up. The ball was hammered up from the penalty area. That was at
:23:13. > :23:21.79 minutes. Caley Thistle pounded forward. A couple more vital saves,
:23:22. > :23:25.a corner on the right, the old-fashioned strummage inside the
:23:26. > :23:32.six yard box. Meekings was there, a yard out and he put the ball over
:23:33. > :23:37.the line to give his side a very deserved victory over St Johnston.
:23:38. > :23:47.From a side at the bottom to one at the top. Celtic's game finished 4-1
:23:48. > :23:50.against Aberdeen. Impressive from Brendan Rodgers'
:23:51. > :23:54.side. But they didn't have it all their own way, although they did
:23:55. > :24:07.dominate early proceedings, stunningly so. A great nutmeg on the
:24:08. > :24:09.edge of the box by Rodage. Aberdeen, who hadn't been in the match for
:24:10. > :24:30.long, equalised. Rogic was found in the penalty area
:24:31. > :24:34.by Forrest. Taylor blocked valiantly on the
:24:35. > :24:42.line. In the end, it would be Sinclair who'd make it 3-1. Reynolds
:24:43. > :24:45.who'd already been booked got a red. Sinclair took the penalty himself to
:24:46. > :24:57.make it 3-1. That wasn't quite it for Celtic as, in the end, they got
:24:58. > :25:02.a dominant score line of 3-1. Aberdeen haven't won here in the
:25:03. > :25:05.league since 2004, and that continues, as Brendan Rodgers take
:25:06. > :25:12.Celtic into the break with a victory.
:25:13. > :25:18.No winners at Fir Park today. Let's here all about it from John Barnes.
:25:19. > :25:23.Goalless for the first time in 30 years between his sides, 1986 the
:25:24. > :25:27.last time that happened. Motherwell will be the most disappointed, they
:25:28. > :25:29.dominated, particularly the first half, two or three really good
:25:30. > :25:49.chances. In the second half, Dundee looked
:25:50. > :25:53.more lively. They switched things. Duffy probed and tried to get
:25:54. > :25:59.through the gap with a couple of good efforts. It went wide of
:26:00. > :26:04.Sampson's goal. McDonald and Ainsworth had two fine curling shots
:26:05. > :26:08.from the edge of the area saved. With ten minutes remaining,
:26:09. > :26:12.Motherwell looked to McFadden to try and get a player in the area. He got
:26:13. > :26:15.his head on one cross but couldn't get it on target. In the end, it was
:26:16. > :26:19.goalless. First win of the season for
:26:20. > :26:22.Hamilton, they beat Ross County 1-0 this afternoon. Here is our final
:26:23. > :26:27.full-time report from the premiership, from Kenny Crawford.
:26:28. > :26:30.Hamilton won Ross County and the home fans are delighted. They home
:26:31. > :26:37.form isn't always the best but this is a great win for them considering
:26:38. > :26:42.they don't have another game here until October because of the way the
:26:43. > :26:49.timetable works out. It was a good old 33-year-old Scott
:26:50. > :26:58.that got the winner. They were brilliant.
:26:59. > :27:09.Hamilton had great chances. A few chances saved but overall it was
:27:10. > :27:22.great from Hamilton who got the victory. Crawford was concussed and
:27:23. > :27:26.couldn't play today. A full-time report from tan nah
:27:27. > :27:33.dice, Dundee United v Raith Rovers and it was watched by Brian
:27:34. > :27:40.McLoughlin. 90 minutes full of quality. This
:27:41. > :27:45.year's Championship will be passionate right to the end. When
:27:46. > :27:46.United went 2-0 up after 23 minutes, it looked like a home win was on the
:27:47. > :27:56.cards. Smith scored from the penalty spot
:27:57. > :28:02.and you couldn't have said anything other than a home win would have
:28:03. > :28:09.been on the cards. Raith Rovers were dogged. There was a wonderful volley
:28:10. > :28:13.and into the second half there was a belief about them, they piled
:28:14. > :28:21.pressure on the Dundee United goal and the equaliser eventually came,
:28:22. > :28:29.from McHattie. Thundered the goal in. It was an absolutely stunning
:28:30. > :28:35.strike. Both sides had half chances, both thought they could snatch on,
:28:36. > :28:39.was that wasn't the case. 7,434 fans inside tan nah dice, a magnificent
:28:40. > :28:46.crowd. None are going home this evening thinking they were short
:28:47. > :28:51.changed. Finished here 2-2. Easter Road now for the full-time report
:28:52. > :28:57.from Paul Mitchell who was watching Hibberian v Morton.
:28:58. > :29:02.A strong opening half hour against Hibs for Morton. They ended up on
:29:03. > :29:22.the wrong side of the scoreline. Hibs second was made four minutes
:29:23. > :29:28.before the break. Cummings scored for the third straight game, a great
:29:29. > :29:32.header after good work by Shinnie. A deep 30 yard cross was met by
:29:33. > :29:40.Graham, who made his debut, scoring his first for Hibs. Stunning header.
:29:41. > :29:47.Morton's effort never dropped through in the afternoon, but in
:29:48. > :29:56.front of 14,508, it was Hibs' day. We haven't spoken about Hibs for a
:29:57. > :30:05.while. So commanding. Minus one shots on target according to that? !
:30:06. > :30:09.Yes, started well. If you're the manager, you are usually judged by
:30:10. > :30:13.the signings you are made, if you are a new manager, that is. They are
:30:14. > :30:18.playing well. This is a really exciting time. The difficulty is for
:30:19. > :30:25.all the teams behind them. There's not a lot between them. Four
:30:26. > :30:33.headers? Yes, yes. I might have enjoyed that game. It probably
:30:34. > :30:42.doesn't happen that often but Graham is a good signing as Pat said.
:30:43. > :30:45.Can you see Hibs running away with it? I can. There's a possibility.
:30:46. > :30:50.I'm not saying they will, but there's a possibility they will if
:30:51. > :30:56.they can keep everyone, a few more days left to go that Jason Cummings
:30:57. > :31:05.can be kept at that club if they can run away with it. Raith Rovers away
:31:06. > :31:09.to Dundee as well today? Yes, they might try and emulate what they did
:31:10. > :31:14.last year again hopefully finishing second or third. They'll push all
:31:15. > :31:17.the way. You can sit back and relax. It's my big moment now. Time to look
:31:18. > :35:04.at today's classified results. Let's look at the league tables.
:35:05. > :35:09.Celtic on top of the Scottish Premiership, three wins from three,
:35:10. > :35:16.one point ahead of Rangers with a game in hand. Hearts one third. One
:35:17. > :35:19.point ahead of Ross County. At the bottom, Inverness Caledonian Thistle
:35:20. > :35:23.got their first win of the season this afternoon. Now level on points
:35:24. > :35:30.with Partick Thistle but trailing on goal difference.
:35:31. > :35:38.Hibs top the Scottish Championship. Queen of the South level on points
:35:39. > :35:44.with Raith Rovers, going well, winning at Dunfermline. At the
:35:45. > :35:53.bottom, Ayr on one point. Stephen, look at that! Sect -- St Mirren
:35:54. > :36:03.second from bottom. Alloa Athletic going great, three wins from four.
:36:04. > :36:09.Livingston inferred. It is nip and took between Stenhousemuir and
:36:10. > :36:14.Peterhead on one point. For the athletic way out in front in week
:36:15. > :36:21.two, four points clear of Arbroath, four wins from four. Edinburgh City
:36:22. > :36:27.yet to get any points. The top of the English Premier league. Pat
:36:28. > :36:32.Nevin fist pumping as he sees Chelsea in first place. Another of
:36:33. > :36:36.his former clubs Everton in second. Manchester City and Manchester
:36:37. > :36:40.United and Hull City have yet to play. This is the bottom of the
:36:41. > :36:46.table, Stoke City, Bournemouth and Watford in the bottom three. Plenty
:36:47. > :36:54.of others roundabout, Sunderland and Crystal Palace also have one point.
:36:55. > :36:58.Huddersfield Town at the top of the Championship, London macro in second
:36:59. > :37:06.and Barnsley, QPR and Bristol and Nottingham giving chase. One point
:37:07. > :37:09.for Blackburn Rovers managed by Owen Coyle, two adrift of Preston North
:37:10. > :37:14.End and Rotherham United also in the bottom three.
:37:15. > :37:21.More details now of what happens down South and Steve Wilson watched
:37:22. > :37:25.Tottenham against Liverpool. Excellent game at White Hart Lane, a
:37:26. > :37:29.point apiece as it was last season when Jurgen Klopp came here for his
:37:30. > :37:35.first match in charge of Liverpool. They hope for better after James
:37:36. > :37:42.Milner put them in front from the penalty spot. That after Erik
:37:43. > :37:48.Lamela's faint touch on the Migno. Spurs will level midway through the
:37:49. > :37:52.second half, Danny Rose creeping in. Beating Simon Mignolet at his near
:37:53. > :37:58.post. Excellent game, Liverpool thought they had gone two up before
:37:59. > :38:05.the equaliser but Saddier money was offside, correct decision. Chances
:38:06. > :38:12.at either end, non-taken. Vicarage Road now, Watford at home to Arsenal
:38:13. > :38:16.this afternoon. Full-time here, Watford one, Arsenal
:38:17. > :38:21.three. Arsenal got their first win of the season in some style. Watford
:38:22. > :38:26.struggling to contain them in the first half. Very eye-catching
:38:27. > :38:31.football. Full of pace and panache. Santi Cazorla with an early penalty
:38:32. > :38:36.after Sanchez was fouled in the box and Sanchez got on the end of great
:38:37. > :38:41.build-up play. Theo Walcott strike was top class. Over the line by
:38:42. > :38:47.Sanchez. And at the end of that half, Ozil got a bullet header
:38:48. > :38:53.making it 3-0. Watford debut Tom Pereyra got a goal back. They will
:38:54. > :38:57.be much more pleased with the second half display but they could not get
:38:58. > :39:08.a goal back to make it an exciting grandstand finish. Lucas Perez was
:39:09. > :39:14.the talk of Arsenal. That deal set to be completed in the next 48
:39:15. > :39:17.hours. Lester's Premiership adventure
:39:18. > :39:23.continued this afternoon at home to Swansea, let's find out about that
:39:24. > :39:29.one. Ridiculous conditions here, a huge electrical storm and a deluge.
:39:30. > :39:34.Had this came been going on ten minutes later, they may not have
:39:35. > :39:40.finished, it was that bad by the end, Leicester splashed their way to
:39:41. > :39:44.a win that looked much more certain, Riyad Mahrez missed a penalty saved
:39:45. > :39:49.by Fabianski, Jamie Vardy and Wes Morgan put them in control. Swansea
:39:50. > :39:53.never gave up, Fer with a fine header ten minutes from time made it
:39:54. > :40:00.a nervous closing stage for Leicester but they did hang on, off
:40:01. > :40:03.and running. Let's hear now from Everton against Stoke at Goodison
:40:04. > :40:08.Park. The two thirds of the pitch, this was a comfortable performance
:40:09. > :40:13.by Everton, dominant in midfield and rarely flustered at the back but
:40:14. > :40:17.they struggled defensively. Romelu Lukaku had his back to goal many
:40:18. > :40:24.times and many poor decisions. Williams and Romelu Lukaku had shots
:40:25. > :40:29.cleared. Bardsley impeded Williams in the box, a corner. Bains with a
:40:30. > :40:32.spot kick but it came back off the post and deflected off the
:40:33. > :40:39.unfortunate keeper. Stoke rallied, coming close. They may feel they
:40:40. > :40:44.deserved a point for the second half but it is Raith Rovers wins in a row
:40:45. > :40:52.for Ronald Koeman and Everton who win by a goal. Let's hear from Chris
:40:53. > :40:57.about Crystal Palace and Bournemouth at Selhurst Park.
:40:58. > :41:00.When your team needs a goal as badly as Pallas, sometimes, they come
:41:01. > :41:05.through the most interesting of roots and it is the centre-half
:41:06. > :41:08.Scott Dunn who scored here against Bournemouth last season who has done
:41:09. > :41:14.it again this afternoon. Tom Taiwo is on the clock when he dies that
:41:15. > :41:19.when he guided his header past Boruc. Palace missed a penalty and
:41:20. > :41:24.they were dreadful in the first half but they deserved the point. They
:41:25. > :41:27.came up Bournemouth in the second. Scott Dunn dramatically giving them
:41:28. > :41:36.a point. 1-1. Steven Thomson, you told me off
:41:37. > :41:40.for mispronouncing! Crystal Palace against Bournemouth. Pat, you are
:41:41. > :41:45.leaping into the air with joy at the results in England today.
:41:46. > :41:50.Especially, I suspect, Chelsea's win over Burnley. We were chatting about
:41:51. > :41:55.it and I think Antonio Conte is doing something unusual, he wants to
:41:56. > :42:01.play 2-4. Such an unusual system in the modern game. You think that is
:42:02. > :42:07.naive and it cannot work. Look at the goal schools today. Victor
:42:08. > :42:11.Moses. Eden Hazzard. The winger scoring goals. It seems to be
:42:12. > :42:16.working. They are looking good, but they need defenders. Arsenal, good
:42:17. > :42:22.result today. Arsene Wenger under pressure already. Yes, the fans have
:42:23. > :42:26.wanted him to sign a big player. Bring in better players. He has had
:42:27. > :42:34.a difficult transfer market. Important result for them today. He
:42:35. > :42:37.is bringing in the German central defender from Seville, Mrs Staffie.
:42:38. > :42:41.A lot of teams in England have been looking for central defenders, they
:42:42. > :42:44.are hard to find at that level. Lots of them have brought in central
:42:45. > :42:48.defenders but they have not been close to good enough. You have great
:42:49. > :42:53.centre forward against you most weeks. It is difficult for Arsenal,
:42:54. > :42:59.but with Arsene Wenger, far be it to have a go at him, but it is a long
:43:00. > :43:03.time the Arsenal fans have said, get the central defence area sorted out
:43:04. > :43:06.and get more power in your midfield. And you have every chance of
:43:07. > :43:10.fighting the top of the week. It will be great this season because so
:43:11. > :43:12.many teams could be in the top four. Six, seven, maybe eight.
:43:13. > :43:14.Now, folks, if you're suffering from Post Olympics Blues,
:43:15. > :43:18.I have just the pick-me-up for you, but you'll have to wait till Monday
:43:19. > :43:33.Scottish athletes competing in Real as part of Team GB have had an
:43:34. > :43:42.Olympics to remember. Relive the best of the action and hear from the
:43:43. > :43:46.medallists. Sally Connelly! What a fabulous team effort that was! Great
:43:47. > :43:48.Britain take the lead through Mark Bennett.
:43:49. > :43:51.Join our Olympics reporters Jane Lewis and Kheredine Idessane
:43:52. > :44:01.for Scotland at the Games on BBC One Scotland at 5:30pm.
:44:02. > :44:10.Stay tuned because I believe we are heading to Inverness to hear from
:44:11. > :44:14.the victorious manager in the game between Caley Thistle and St
:44:15. > :44:22.Johnstone this afternoon. Richie Foran was with Scott Davie.
:44:23. > :44:27.Dramatic finale to the game. A last-gasp goal ends up each time. No
:44:28. > :44:32.doubt it was deserved. Yes, yes. Start to finish, we were excellent.
:44:33. > :44:36.Man for man, were excellent. It should have been two or three at
:44:37. > :44:42.half-time. That was the only disappointing part, we did not take
:44:43. > :44:47.our chances. St Johnstone were restricted them and they took one of
:44:48. > :44:50.those with a great chance. You thought it would not be our
:44:51. > :44:59.afternoon. It was feeling like a defeat because we had done so well.
:45:00. > :45:03.I told the boys it was pure spirit that was the winner of the game
:45:04. > :45:07.today. They played nice football but you could see the determination and
:45:08. > :45:11.aggression, everything you demanded after the disappointment of the
:45:12. > :45:15.Alaska board results. Yes, it was excellent. We were winning the
:45:16. > :45:20.second balls. We went more direct than we normally word with Fisher at
:45:21. > :45:26.the top winning headers. Excellent getting the second balls all over
:45:27. > :45:31.the park, we were really good. Iain Vigurs was outstanding with Tansey,
:45:32. > :45:35.delighted with everybody, the squad, the substitutes. Those that did not
:45:36. > :45:39.come on. Really, really happy with the result and a bit relieved as
:45:40. > :45:43.well. I was going to say that. You said before the game you are not
:45:44. > :45:48.concerned about how things were going, you are looking to get the
:45:49. > :45:51.win but the earlier it happens, the better for the players. Especially
:45:52. > :45:56.going into an international break. Yes, it sets us up nicely for
:45:57. > :46:01.Aberdeen. The longer without a point on the table, players could get
:46:02. > :46:05.nervous. Supporters get nervous. So great to get three points today, it
:46:06. > :46:09.was massive. Delighted now and looking forward to going to
:46:10. > :46:16.Aberdeen. You are able to get your new French striker, you got in game
:46:17. > :46:19.time, looking to get more players in before the window crisis? Yes,
:46:20. > :46:23.Lonsana Doumbouya has done well, he is a clever and strong player and
:46:24. > :46:27.good in the air. We are looking to bring in at least two more and
:46:28. > :46:31.hopefully we will hear good news by Monday.
:46:32. > :46:40.Well done for today. Stephen, I picked out a phrase, your spirit.
:46:41. > :46:48.A phrase he used there, "purr spirit". They had the 5-1 defeat
:46:49. > :46:52.last week, they were poor, didn't show any character so he needed the
:46:53. > :46:58.big players to stand up and be counted. It was a performance
:46:59. > :47:01.deserved of that victory. They had a players' meeting this week, the
:47:02. > :47:04.players got together without the manager there and obviously said
:47:05. > :47:12.look, we have got to sort this out? As long as the manager kind of knows
:47:13. > :47:15.it's going on, that helps a bit. If they do it with the right attitude
:47:16. > :47:19.and feeling and the positivity and it also has the right reaction,
:47:20. > :47:22.that's absolutely fine. They have done the right thing, you don't want
:47:23. > :47:27.to get dropped at any point in the season. Even this early, the three
:47:28. > :47:33.points are important. Time to win from another manager from this
:47:34. > :47:36.afternoon's matches, it's Hearts who won away to Partick Thistle this
:47:37. > :47:44.afternoon. Robbie is with Richard Wilson.
:47:45. > :47:53.Did you feel like the goal was the winner? We made substitutions and
:47:54. > :47:57.that gave us a lift. It worked well for us today. You must have been
:47:58. > :48:05.happy with the way your team was playing? Yes. They have improved
:48:06. > :48:09.massively from last year. It was made difficult for us to play, they
:48:10. > :48:15.had all the possession, we couldn't break them down, we found it
:48:16. > :48:21.difficult. I know you are still looking to sign this window but you
:48:22. > :48:26.have a big squad that you can call upon, will that make a big
:48:27. > :48:34.difference? Yes, huge advantage. I spoke about that, with even the guys
:48:35. > :48:40.on the pitch, but to have the option to change things like we did today
:48:41. > :48:44.made a huge difference for us. You got a goal today. You can see
:48:45. > :48:50.the potential that Tony Watt has got? He has real quality. We were
:48:51. > :48:55.changing the shape to try to get a bit more of the game. We knew he'd
:48:56. > :48:59.create something and managed to get in a good position and you can see
:49:00. > :49:03.his finishing. Thanks, Robbie. Thank you.
:49:04. > :49:16.The quality of Tony Watt mentioned there, an important goal for him?
:49:17. > :49:23.Yes. To be honest, his reactions at the end were fantastic and that was
:49:24. > :49:32.the goal of a top, top striker. Robbie mentioned Archibald there, I
:49:33. > :49:37.thought that was superb. Even though I'm going on about how good that
:49:38. > :49:42.was, you thought the keeper didn't do well? He ducks underneath the
:49:43. > :49:46.ball and ducks down, don't get me wrong it's a decent finish on the
:49:47. > :49:51.angle. Tony Watt needed that goal though, he's been one of the better
:49:52. > :49:55.players, but he needed that first one out of the way, as a striker.
:49:56. > :50:02.The goalkeeper should have been doing a bit better. We'll find out
:50:03. > :50:11.tomorrow what you are doing tomorrow, what are you doing?
:50:12. > :50:15.Sportscene. Now Tony is with us talking about his game do you think
:50:16. > :50:23.you deserved anything today? We done well to get back in the game --
:50:24. > :50:29.Tommy. After we got back to one each, we were dominant for the last
:50:30. > :50:34.four minutes, five minutes, we let them back in the game and they put
:50:35. > :50:37.us under a lot of pressure with long throws, we gave away silly free
:50:38. > :50:43.kicks, I think we have learnt our lesson from the first goal. They put
:50:44. > :50:49.a lot of pressure on us and they got the deserved win in the end.
:50:50. > :50:59.I think it was 12 games without defeat, now two defeats in a row. We
:51:00. > :51:02.are not worried. It's four games in, it's early days. But it's a
:51:03. > :51:08.difficult place to come to. We knew that our run couldn't continue. We
:51:09. > :51:14.probably contributed to that, because the first half we felt the
:51:15. > :51:20.pace, never really got into the pace of the game and still had a few
:51:21. > :51:24.opportunities. We didn't put enough balls in the
:51:25. > :51:29.box and our goal is something that we should have taken something from
:51:30. > :51:33.because we just put the ball in the box, ask questions, it wasn't dealt
:51:34. > :51:37.with, picked up second ball and scored a great one. There'll be
:51:38. > :51:43.lessons to be learnt from today and we are disappointed but it's early
:51:44. > :51:47.days. During the break, the transfer window closes, any more players
:51:48. > :51:52.coming in? No, I don't think that's going to happen. Thanks. Thank you.
:51:53. > :51:58.Very sober analysis from Tommy. Do you agree with what he is saying?
:51:59. > :52:02.He'll be disappointed because they were back-to-back defeats. I watched
:52:03. > :52:07.the game last week and St Johnston started the season well. They were
:52:08. > :52:10.seven games unbeaten at the start of last season. They lost last week,
:52:11. > :52:15.played OK in the second half against Celtic but today they never got
:52:16. > :52:20.going for me. He'll be disappointed because it was a poor performance.
:52:21. > :52:25.Was it all about Inverness's desire in that one, Pat? They were up for
:52:26. > :52:29.it, they cannot let themselves get left behind at the bottom of the
:52:30. > :52:33.league. They came out all guns blazing and most teams, there's not
:52:34. > :52:38.a lot between them. Have a look at the league table, there's not a lot
:52:39. > :52:41.between them. If you can get a better spirit and desire on the day,
:52:42. > :52:46.you'll probably get it. But I look at that St Johnston team and think,
:52:47. > :52:52.well you're too good to be in trouble, the problem is, I think
:52:53. > :52:58.that about just about every team in the league. Partick Thistle lost to
:52:59. > :53:03.Hearts. Let's hear from their manager Alan Archibald? Frustrating
:53:04. > :53:10.because you played well? Yes, I thought we did well. I thought we
:53:11. > :53:17.defended well second half and we had chances. There was a ricochet in
:53:18. > :53:23.which we were unlucky with. A lot of experienced players on the bench,
:53:24. > :53:28.was that the difference today? I think the players brought quality
:53:29. > :53:32.on, without a doubt. Tony Watt was still on the pitch and you have seen
:53:33. > :53:36.the quality he brings as a top player. He wasn't going to miss from
:53:37. > :53:42.there. You must be relatively satisfied at the way your team's
:53:43. > :53:47.played, passed the ball very well, got possession and were on top of
:53:48. > :53:53.the game? Yes, we were unlucky going a goal down. We had good
:53:54. > :53:56.opportunities, got in good areas. You've got to score when you get
:53:57. > :54:12.your chances though, we could have done a bit better. They all done
:54:13. > :54:17.really well. Further impetus to try to get more players in in this
:54:18. > :54:20.window? Yes, there is good players out there, if the window shuts, it's
:54:21. > :54:25.not the end of the world, but I would like one before the window
:54:26. > :54:29.closes. A brief cameo appearance there by Martin, centre stage now,
:54:30. > :54:36.we can hear his thoughts after his side's win this afternoon.
:54:37. > :54:42.Martin, an extremely satisfying win? Yes, definitely. Again, I thought we
:54:43. > :54:48.were the better team and thought we deserved to win. We had a great
:54:49. > :54:53.opportunity. I thought we done enough to win the game. The header
:54:54. > :54:59.came off the cross bar, do you think that's going to be a long afternoon
:55:00. > :55:05.at that point, but gradually possession in the second half and
:55:06. > :55:10.you dominated? Yes, I thought once we got going we were very good
:55:11. > :55:15.again. If our fitness levels continue to be at that level, I've
:55:16. > :55:18.no doubt we'll start winning. Today was justification for the players as
:55:19. > :55:28.well that if you put that work rate in, you can win games. I'm so
:55:29. > :55:36.pleased. That absolutely got me. 17 shots
:55:37. > :55:44.against Partick Thistle, but there was also minus one shots. No wonder
:55:45. > :55:52.they lost. Martin, he got the first win of the season, Steven? They've
:55:53. > :55:55.taken the lead in every one of the matches, so not to have won any
:55:56. > :56:00.previously would have been frustrating but it's a massive win
:56:01. > :56:05.for them today. He's been under a bit of pressure, Martin Canning?
:56:06. > :56:11.Three There are certain teams that will get dragged into it. They keep
:56:12. > :56:18.losing decent players. It's really, really tough to keep building the
:56:19. > :56:22.team. The attitude's always been perfect, as has Martin's, I've
:56:23. > :56:26.really enjoyed it. What is your story of the day, Celtic showing
:56:27. > :56:35.Aberdeen what they are all about this afternoon? I think everybody
:56:36. > :56:41.thought Celtic would win today. Caley Thistle is a massive story.
:56:42. > :56:45.Alloa keep winning games convincingly as well, they are
:56:46. > :56:53.probably my team of the day. Pat? That's a tight one. I see Celtic,
:56:54. > :56:59.Rangers Hearts, you know, and Aberdeen out of it a little bit.
:57:00. > :57:06.Aberdeen, I hope they learn they can go for it on a great run. At the
:57:07. > :57:10.moment, you never know, Celtic and Rangers at the top, is that going to
:57:11. > :57:16.happen, a lot of people say yes. Four points already? Exactly, but
:57:17. > :57:18.they are new to league, I wouldn't be surprised if that was roughly
:57:19. > :57:22.what happens. Almost time for us to disappear
:57:23. > :57:26.like shadows of the night. Before we go, fill your eyes
:57:27. > :57:29.with this - the results Highlights of all the weekend's
:57:30. > :58:16.Premiership matches are free at the point of delivery
:58:17. > :58:19.tomorrow on BBC Two at 6pm. By the way, now that
:58:20. > :58:22.the Olympics are over, It'll also be repeated in HD,
:58:23. > :58:28.after Match of the Day 2 on BBC One. There's more reaction to today's
:58:29. > :58:36.matches with Scottish football's most loveable rogues,
:58:37. > :58:39.Stuart and Tam, in Off The Ball. It's all kicking off
:58:40. > :58:40.imminently on Radio Scotland. Hope you've got all that,
:58:41. > :58:47.because we're out of here. Thanks to our esteemed guests,
:58:48. > :58:50.Pat Nevin and Steven Thompson. And thanks as ever to
:58:51. > :58:53.you for watching.
